Since this is a Vietnam oreinted game, will there be Australian units in the game? I'm not sure if this question has been posed yet, but I thought I would speak up anyway. The Aussies did make a contribution so it would be nice to see some units and vehicles (Like the Centurion) dedicated to the Australian forces.

What about the South Koreans? The Thai troops? The New Zealand troops? They all had a part too, and I hope that they, along with Australian troops are implemented, either by BIS or by our wonderful mod community.

England sent a printing press, I hope that features in the game http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Seriously though the Aussies at least should figure in the game, maybe we could get Alf Stewart to do some voice acting http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Thats the official version - unofficially i read several places about SAS working there...
I doubt it, the british government were opposed to the war, or at least not 'for' the war, they didnt even send a small token amount of troops, so i doubt they would send the SAS, besides, the SAS were probably too busy in Malaya/Oman/Burma, although probably some SAS members ended up fighting in Vietnam in American/Australian units due to special forces exchange programs...

The aussies however did use their SAS in Vietnam.

I doubt that BIS will add many different nations. but if i'm wrong, then BIS should add the German contribution in Vietnam, the "Helgoland", a German hospital ship. it was there from 1966 till 1972. I still think it was better to send this ship than troops, as the Americans demanded. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

I think there was a familiar text on a very old OFP fansite from Seventh.
BIS should do the aussies and all of us a favour and release IL! http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
